    Application

    I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Covanta (Morristown, NJ) in Oct 2022

    Interview

    I find it so rude that companies are ghosting candidates these days. Never even received an automated rejection email. It's very telling that the company is unprofessional in how it handles candidates. They do not seem to have it all together. Had me fill out a personality test, which was a first for me and a complete waste of time.
    Interview

    Conversational interview with relevant past performance examples.
